Answer:the number of cars that were washed is 50

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of cars that members of a senior class.

Let y represent the number of pick-up truck or a sport utility vehicle that members of a senior class.

They charged $3 to wash a car and $5 to wash a pick-up truck or a sport utility vehicle and they earned a total of $275. This means that

3x + 5y = 275 - - - - - - - - -- - -1

They washed a total of 75 vehicles. This means that

x + y = 75

Substituting x = 75 - y into equation 1, it becomes

3(75 - y) + 5y = 275

225 - 3y + 5y = 275

- 3y + 5y = 275 - 225

2y = 50

y = 50/2 = 25

Substituting y = 25 into x = 75 - y, it becomes

x = 75 - 25 = 50

Weights of cars passing over a bridge part 2<br>​
DaniilM [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

The solution to this problem is very much similar to your previous ones, already answered by Sqdancefan.

Given:

mean,  mu = 3550 lbs (hope I read the first five correctly, and it's not a six)

standard deviation, sigma = 870 lbs

weights are normally distributed, and assume large samples.

Probability to be estimated between W1=2800 and W2=4500 lbs.

Solution:

We calculate Z-scores for each of the limits in order to estimate probabilities from tables.

For W1 (lower limit),

Z1=(W1-mu)/sigma = (2800 - 3550)/870 = -.862069

From tables, P(Z<Z1) = 0.194325

For W2 (upper limit):

Z2=(W2-mu)/sigma = (4500-3550)/879 = 1.091954

From tables, P(Z<Z2) = 0.862573

Therefore probability that weight is between W1 and W2 is

P( W1 < W < W2 )

= P(Z1 < Z < Z2)

= P(Z<Z2) - P(Z<Z1)

= 0.862573 - 0.194325

= 0.668248

= 0.67 (to the hundredth)

Triangle DEF (not shown) is similar to ABC shown, with angle B congruent to angle E and angle C congruent to angle F. The length
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

Area of ΔDEF is 45\ cm^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

ΔABC and  ΔDEF is similar and ∠B ≅ ∠E.

Length of AB = 2\ cm and

Length of DE = 6\ cm

Area of ΔABC = 5\ cm^2

Solution,

Since, ΔABC and  ΔDEF is similar and ∠B ≅ ∠E.

Therefore,

\frac{Area\ of\ triangle\ 1}{Area\ of\ triangle\ 2} =\frac{AB^2}{DE^2}

Where triangle 1 and triangle 2 is  ΔABC and  ΔDEF respectively.

If two triangles are similar, then the ratio of the area of both triangles is proportional to the square of the ratio of their corresponding sides.

\frac{5}{Area\ of\ triangle\ 2} =\frac{2^2}{6^2}\\ \frac{5}{Area\ of\ triangle\ 2}=\frac{4}{36}\\ Area\ of\ triangle\ 2=\frac{5\times36}{4} =5\times9=45\ cm^2

Thus the area of  ΔDEF is 45\ cm^2.
